Ice Out March 19th!

I stopped by the Marina this a.m., walked beneath the Rt. 5 bridge and, lo and behold, the West is flowing free and clear to the Connecticut which is also flowing ice-free in Bratt (except along the embankments and set-backs). So, remember this date next year: March 19th. In a boat you could make it from the Dummerston covered bridge (and probably quite a ways upstream from there) to the Connecticut without having to portage.

Well, 3 predictions were posted: March 15, 16, and 24. The closest to the 19th was the 16th. Hey, that was mine! Anyone got a prize for me?
